Drinking Astragalus membranaceus with honey soaked in water every day also has a certain health-preserving effect.

Both of them can be drunk together, but the health care effect of soaking in water is not as good as that of drinking honey-baked astragalus. There is a kind of honey called astragalus honey, which has the functions of protecting liver, diuresis, lowering blood pressure and enhancing immunity. It should be available in general Chinese medicine shops.

Honey is a yellow-white viscous liquid made by natural fermentation of nectar collected by bees. Honey is known as "the most perfect nutritious food in nature", and the ancient Greeks regarded honey as a "godsend". China has been collecting honey by artificial beekeeping since ancient times. Honey is not only a good medicine, but also an excellent drink, which can prolong life.
